@Maybeyourright2 @PlayOverwatch I have played overwatch since the first game lol. Again, you lost out. Not my problem. Not Blizzard’s problem. It’s your problem. Grow up and realize you missed out.

Overwatch is broken, I keep sliding uncontrollably and it’s annoying

@RavenWings_ I like it but I think with the amount of heroes in overwatch, theres only a couple broken characters so the same bans will happen every game. Itll be different from comp but still the same game every time. The point of bans is dynamic meta, not a different but stagnant meta

The fact they talked about reducing the main functional design problem of Overwatch 2 (Tank Health) for all game modes EXCEPT Role Queue? Is...😶 ...On the other hand, if this leads them to seeing the potential for this change to get this game into a functional state? 👍

@RexOverwatch Bro you’re stuck regurgitating Geoff Goodman talking points. How is it watered down? Why is balancing an overpowered character unhealthy for the game? How is a broken character fun for anyone except the person playing that character? Nobody wants overwatch to be perfect

Is anyone else experiencing random lag on overwatch? I know it's not my internet and it'll be fine then randomly my frames drop and get jittery

@Smdtwitte123 Its still frankly insulting to Overwatch players' intelligence to do this when these were quick number tweaks that could have been done instantly. And yes there was an issue with Roadhog being unable to be hotfixed, but frankly, that should have been said immediately, not now.

Overwatch fans will see a good patch and complain that every problem wasn't addressed in the 2 month span

@BlizzardCS Hi, I'm getting the "game server connection failed... retrying" issue when launching Overwatch 2. Have tried a few network/change region/restart fixes to no avail. What can I do to play?

@xlbooyahlx @PsychobillyLily @BungieHelp No its called being considerate as the devs could easily not say **** until there's a fix and we'd have the overwatch 2 situation where people just wait wondering when they can play atleast now you can see that it'll take a hit and play something else

@cybuuorg I think people need to embrace loving things despite their problems. I love Overwatch, but I acknowledge it could be FAR better. I love discussing its characters, brainstorming character ideas, imagining what the PvE has in store. But I also acknowledge- (cont.)

It seems that all I do on Twitter these days is ***** about problems with Overwatch, but there have been many many times where I have gotten an elimination and it has not given me credit on the scoreboard. I don’t know if this is a bug or something but it needs to be fixed.

@DreamPlaysx @andybelford i don't think 5v5 itself is an issue, it's just that all of overwatch's issues/ow1 heroes issues became EXTREMELY apparent with 5v5

(@ObviousThrower) reported
@gh0steyy @PlayOverwatch Yeah for sure they would, but tbh already spoke with Sony they said if blizzard doesn’t fix it I could get a refund on most purchases including overwatch 1, but tbh I’d probably make more selling the account to a rando

@Blizzard_Ent please tell me why in overwatch, it literally boots you from the server and then punishes you for it? you can literally join back into the game, win it, and still get punished when ranking up even tho IT LAGGED YOU OUT. fix your dogshit game please

@CodyWatson_20 @ItsSomjuu bro I think YOU don't play tank or even overwatch at all sombra is just a mild annoyance, and supports can negate everyone's utility that's not a tank problem. and which DPS is shredding through tanks exactly?

@SpookyPetePlays I’m always going to play music while playing games like Overwatch as that’s how I would play the game if I was off stream. I can turn the other stuff up but I don’t think audio was the issue here as nobody else has said anything about it, I’ve altered my mic settings now though

I put my iMac back as the main monitor and attached my 240hz back to it. The screen on it is just far too good to look at and, I may have figured out the remaining major issues which made Overwatch near unplayable. If I get sick of it, I can very easily move it all back.
